We had instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Lampton on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by HSBC?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Lampton conveyancer.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Lampton building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Lampton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the solicitor is on the lender approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

How does conveyancing in Lampton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Lampton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Lampton typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lampton or who has acted in the same development.
